Each stripe is its own piece of wood like any flag I do. After a few trial and errors I realized it is way easier to have each stripe as it’s own piece of wood than it was to make sure every line was straight. After each stripe is cut, they’re all sanded with 220 grit sand paper. Then each stripe is aligned with one another and I pick the order each piece of wood will go in. Whether it be which one is straighter or which piece will so more wood grain whether it’s burned or stained. Then the line is drawn for the Union. Depending on if it is being stained or burned, painters tape is placed to keep the stain where it should be. Each piece is separated to not cause confusion and accidentally stain a piece that shouldn’t be (Learn from experience). After the stain dries thoroughly, it’s time for the glue up. This, for me, is a stressful process. Because I stain before I piece the flag together, I don’t want any glue to run on to the front of the flag. But you also need to make sure there’s enough glue for it to hold once the clamps come off. Once the glue is dried, the clamps come off and the glue gets scrapped off the back. Two small pieces of wood are then glued and nailed to the back of each flag to ensure they won’t fall apart. Another piece of wood is glued and nailed on the very top in order to put the picture hanging wire on it. Then polyurethane is brushed on, either an oil based or water based, depending on the flag. D rings and picture hanging wore is attached to the back, and the flag is complete.
